This assumes Trump gets to select his running mate.
Are any particular plutocrats, and/or Putin, pulling those strings?
Day1 Dictator says his gloves are coming off & handcuffs are going on anyone he chooses. But the most powerful people behind Project 2025 may leave a lot less to Trump’s chaos this time.
How do they feel about Michael Flynn? That Cassius has a lean and very hungry look. If he’s the VP TFG won’t see Day 2. Is Putin’s boy Flynn too screwy for, say, Koch, Leo & assorted campers at Bohemian Grove?
Wild card: who do red state ALEC legislators want as POTUS & VP? Flynn assures them they decide who the electors are & how they vote. What happens if they show up at Archives & Congress with lawyers, guns & “certified” winners? 147 MAGA MoC’s would walk them right by the magnetometers.
No excuses. DoJ, DoD & Cap cops must vet the troops, discharge wackos, brief all hands on domestic enemies & unlawful orders, & swear the oath again.

Kids of the near future are about to have very hard lives. Degrowing the economy is necessary to make human impacts on earth’s resources anywhere near sustainable.
Electric car windows are examples of low hanging fruit for degrowth. Cranked windows are a minor inconvenience, use less resources, make cars more resilient & weigh less, saving energy.
Same with replacing unnecessary plastics with the recyclable paper, glass & metal my generation got along just fine with. Or just don’t wrap many things at all. Organic produce wrapped in plastic is dissonant & often unnecessary.
Readers may want to reply with other ways to simplify yet retain a good life, degrow the economy, & keep Earth livable as long as possible.
